Buffoons in the Nazi/Cooker rally today were denying to me that they were at a Nazi event. They shouldn’t be allowed to continue to do so. @albomp.bsky.social & other leaders need to act hard.

Drafting RW policy to appease them only entrenches their far Right positions. #Auspol

"People who attend the “March for Australia” rallies will almost certainly be marching alongside white supremacists and neo-Nazis,"

"Politicians from all sides should be at the counter-protests this weekend to demonstrate that neo-Nazis have no place in Australia." @ebonybennett.bsky.social #auspol
Who's going to stand up and make Nazis ashamed again?
A "March for Australia" rally sounds benign, but people who plan to attend the "March for Australia" rallies around the country on Sunday will almost certainly be marching alongside white supremacists...

There’s a growing sector of jobs that should not need to exist: fixing errors made by AI, redoing shoddy work by AI, and correcting mistakes by people who used AI stupidly. In other words, it’s people doing the work but now with extra steps. www-bbc-co-uk.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.bbc....

In a horrifying article about the dangers of Teslas, one point stands out: Teslas automatically disengage self-driving mode <1 second before an imminent crash--not enough time for the driver to react, but enough for Tesla to deny responsibility for fatal crashes, since self-driving "wasn't engaged."
The real surprise came after the experiment. Fred Lambert, who writes for the blog Electrek, pointed out the same autopilot disengagement that the NHTSA had documented. “Autopilot appears to automatically disengage a fraction of a second before the impact as the crash becomes inevitable,” Lambert noted.

AI summaries kill search traffic. This has been an obvious consequence of Google's AI summary strategy since its inception.

Apparently the training data is so valuable that Google is willing to risk the neck of the goose that lays golden eggs.

Screenshot: thebullshitmachines.com/lesson-9-blu...
Screenshot from Modern-Day Oracles or Bullshit Machines (Bergstrom and West 2025). People wandering through a desert mirage, with the text: "We anticipate powerful, damaging spillover effects. If no one follows web links, there will be few incentives for people to create high-quality content in the first place. Meanwhile large language models make it easy to produce low-quality content at the touch of a button. Quality human-created information may be swamped by AI-generated bullshit."

For LLMs to truly make the leap, not just in producing coherent texts, but in creating meaningful interactions with emotional impact and presence, a new space must be opened. This space is neither technical nor grammatical. It's communicational.

The eruption lasted from ~5am to ~3:40pm. This is its 10th eruption in the last 3 years, most recently the 6th July 2024.
